What's in our TriyIt box

We have been picked for the latest TritIt box to review, I have never actually shared one of these on here before but I thought it would be interesting to share what things I have been sent to try. Firstly this on one of the strongest boxes we have received for things that we will use and enjoy.

Whiskas cat meat - We have two sachets of chicken in gravy for Jack to try, this is perfect as Whiskas is our favourite brand for Jack and he has always enjoyed it.
Opihr Gin - There were two small bottles of Gin in two different flavours, Aromatic Bitters and Oriental spice, these sound very tasty and we can't wait to give them a try.
Lyles topping syrup (maple) - We got a full size bottle of this to try, none of us have actually tried this before so we are very excited to try this.
Whyte and Mackay Whiskey - There was a small bottle of this whiskey in there and Liam is very happy with this as its a brand of Whiskey that he is familiar with
Shanky's whip whiskey - This whiskey is a new one on him, this again came in a small 2 shot size bottle and we are both intrigued as to how this will taste.
Wassen Hydrate + replenish - We have got a sachet of this to try, this is a brand that I am not familiar with but I will definitely give this a go.
Bazooka chews - We have two packs of Bazooka chews, on with a sour sherbet inside and another which is a bit of a surprise, its either powder or gel, Lils has already been trying these.
Proto Future Eco laundry strips - We have a sample versions of these and I am always looking for for ways to make our like more eco so i'm very happy they we get to try these out.

This box really does have something for everyone to enjoy and we are so excited to give everything a go. There are some brands that I have heard of and other that are completely new to us. If you want to know about any of these products I can do follow up posts.

Macaroni Cheese | Recipe and Method

I do love a pasta dish and macaroni cheese is such a comfort food for me, its so easy and simple to make, perfect for a busy evening taking only 15-20 minutes to make.

My mental health

I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal. I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata 1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
